FTC Principles:

Following sensible and healthy guidelines for eating and physical activity is important for healthy weight management.

Obesity is a serious, chronic disease that is known to reduce life span, increase disability and lead to many serious illnesses including diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.

Guess what -instead of watching 20 more minutes of TV, you could spend less than that reading a few tips to help improve your health. You could pick just two that are easy, fun, or that maybe even make your week more enjoyable by finding a better way to do something, and you will be much healthier for it.

United Health has a program called Rally. Similar to Rally judging your age by your habits of how you eat and work out, dropping in some of the things from the B12BAR Nutrition Therapy will make your "health age" younger than it otherwise would be. That being said, if you follow the bar regimen, it becomes very easy to healthy-snack so much that you're displacing urges and otherwise unhealthy food, turning up your metabolism, and growing your natural probiotics with natural prebiotic–not just eating random piles of probiotics, and the B12BAR Nutrition Therapy tips aren’t just about eating. We’re going to help you turn some things you already do into some fun weight loss activities and some cardio. You can find something on the list to put an edge on every part of your day that will easily have you burning an extra 400 calories a day without going to the gym or running. You don’t have to buy boxes of B12BARs or BIOBARs for this to work, although it certainly is easier and more satisfying than packing 13 packs of veggies, fruits, and nuts for the week, and sprinkling wheatgrass, chia and prebiotic on them.

When you eat a B12BAR, you can taste the health. It feels good to eat really nutritious, really good food.
